  1. Ire 243-9 (Cusack 1, Mooney 8)published at 03:56 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2015

    Alex Cusack is the last man for Ireland and he gets off the mark with a single to leg. Mooney gives the Irish fans something to cheer by driving Yadav through backward point for four.

  2. WICKETpublished at 03:53 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2015

    After Mooney adds three runs to the Ireland total with a couple of pull shots, an ugly swing from Dockrell gives Yadav his first wicket of the day courtesy of an edge to Dhoni.

    Dockrell has no answer for Shami, who fires one past the outside edge before forcing the tail-ender to take evasive action to avoid a nasty short ball. Mooney's single from the first ball is the only run from the over.

    Ireland will take all the runs they can get now, including a very welcome six down the ground by Dockrell off Jadeja. It is the only scoring strike from the over.

  5. Ire 227-8published at 03:43 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2015

    Mooney is joined by George Dockrell but he can only watch from the non-striker's end as Shami ties the big man down with some tight bowling. Ireland will do well to see out the 50 overs now.

    "Unfortunately another wicket falls and the momentum has gone for Ireland. They need to take it a lot deeper before thinking about being too aggressive. With only two wickets in hand they have to be sensible to bat out the overs whereas India will be aggressive now. It's amazing to see India's turnaround since the tri-series."

    Ireland are sinking now. John Mooney is the new man and he prods his third ball to leg, which prompts Thompson to set off before being sent back and left well short with his dive as Kohli's throw clatters the stumps at the non-striker's end. The last five wickets have fallen for 21 runs.

    "An excellent knock from Niall O'Brien but he will be disappointed. He's given his side a chance by providing a platform but the rest of the guys have a lot to do. If they can bat out these final overs they should set a decent target. India's opening partnership has not fired yet so you never know."

    Huge disappointment for O'Brien and Ireland as he looks to flick a Shami ball to leg and is comfortably caught by Yadav at square leg. The wickets are tumbling now and Ireland are in danger of crumbling below 250.

  11. Ire 226-6published at 03:34 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2015

    Stuart Thompson - who was brought into the side in place of McBrine today - is next to try and provide the support Niall O'Brien needs to kick Ireland on. He helps rotate the strike as four more singles are added to the total.

    "The responsibility for the players coming in is to give Niall O'Brien the strike. He's the one looking to play shots. They need to do that without taking any silly risks."

    Double Nelson strikes for Ireland as Wilson top-edges trying to sweep Jadeja and is caught by Rahane at short fine leg.

    Niall O'Brien is doing a superb job for Ireland. Yadav didn't have a lot of joy in his two-over spell at the start of the innings and he is welcomed back with a straight six of his third ball as part of an over that goes for 10.

  17. Ire 213-5published at 03:25 Greenwich Mean Time 10 March 2015

    Gary Wilson comes in and starts well with a boundary from his first ball, driven superbly to the cover boundary. That is the end of the powerplay and Ireland have 10 overs to push on to that magical 300 mark, that is surely the minimum requirement here.

    "Just a shame Kevin O'Brien couldn't get started because we know how well he can hit. Important that Ireland put together a partnership now. If they can get another 100 they will have something to bowl at."

    Kevin O'Brien goes before the fireworks can start. It is a great ball from Shami, just short of length, which Kevin drives at and edges to Dhoni. That is an important wicket for India. He could have been vital in getting Ireland towards 300.

    "Just a question now of is that too many wickets? And how will Kevin O'Brien go? He is the key man to try to get this total over 300.

    "The threat of Ashwin, the pick of the spinners, is gone. He was getting turn but the others aren't."
